TI expands its MSP430(TM) MCU Value Line with 64 devices to give 8-bit developers more options with increased memory and capacitive touch capabilities

New ultra-low-power MSP430 Value Line MCUs enable more features in low-cost applications such as consumer, lighting and touch pads

DALLAS, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its commitment to provide more low-cost options to 8-bit developers, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today announced 64 new ultra-low-power MSP430 Value Line microcontrollers (MCUs) that offer 16-bit performance at an 8-bit price. The new MSP430G2xx2 MCUs include integrated capacitive touch IOs, allowing developers to interface directly with capacitive touch pads, eliminating the need for additional hardware and components.  Additionally, the MSP430 MCU Value Line expansion provides extra package and memory options, providing developers with increased design flexibility. Supported by TI's $4.30 LaunchPad development kit, free software and broad third party support network, the G2xx2 MCUs further enable an easy upgrade to 16-bit performance while maintaining the ultra-low Value Line price. For more information, please visit http://www.ti.com/430value_phase2-pr-lp.

Key features and benefits of the Value Line G2xx2 MCUs

    --  Integrated capacitive touch IOs eliminate the need for external passive
        components, reducing system level BOM
    --  Increased memory ranges of up to 8KB Flash and 256B RAM to support more
        advanced  applications
    --  Additional package options with increased pin counts (20-pin TSSOP and
        PDIP) offer more flexibility when programming and designing form factors
    --  Optimized efficiency with ultra-low standby power of 0.4 microamps  and
        <1 microseconds wake-up time as well as integrated intelligent
        peripherals, such as 10-bit ADCs, UART, comparator and serial
        communication
    --  Supported by complete hardware and software development environment with
        free, downloadable software debuggers and compilers, including Code
        Composer Studio (TM) IDE and IAR Embedded Workbench, and $4.30 LaunchPad
        development kit
    --  Code compatible across MSP430 platform providing easy migration path for
        added scalability

Pricing and availability

The new MSP430G2xx2 MCUs are priced from $0.33 for 100K units and samples are immediately available. The MSP430 MCU Value Line LaunchPad development kit (MSP-EXP430G2) is priced at $4.30 and can be ordered at http://www.ti.com/430value_phase2-pr-es.

TI's broad portfolio of MCUs and software

From general purpose, ultra-low power MSP430 MCUs, to Stellaris® Cortex(TM)-M3-based 32-bit MCUs and high performance, real-time control TMS320C2000(TM) MCUs, TI offers the broadest range of microcontroller solutions. Designers can accelerate time to market by tapping into TI's complete software and hardware tools, extensive third-party offerings and technical support.
